Suicide Squad 2 - Movie Review

Streaming: HBOMAX Suicide Squad 1 was one of the finest DC movies(Minus Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy) to come out from their camp. Do not go by the reviews. It was so well received that Harley Quinn had her own movie. Now cut to Suicide Squad 2 with the famous James Gunn from Marvel camp at the helm, it barely meets the expectations.  Marvel made it seem so easy to write a super hero movie in super entertaining fashion with movies like Winter Soldier, Thor Ragnorak, Guardians of the Galaxy etc. But DC thought all they needed was the guy who directed Guardians to sell Suicide Squad. Oh my oh my how they were wrong. In one phrase, Suicide Squad is a gross mess that shines few times and far in between. Suicide Squad is no Guardians, not even close. The screenplay is messy. The visuals are gross but it aint Kill Bill. Kill Bill romanticizes with violence but Suicide Squad tries to romanticize with gross elements. To say the least, it doesn't work in favor of the movie.

Aswathama - Review

Aswathama is touted as the massy movie of Naga Shaurya and his mass look in the posters is a treat too. But the fun stops there. Shaurya could not carry off the needed massy body language. He comes across as trying very hard. I have always felt Shaurya was a decent actor but I am disappointed that he proved me wrong.

Next comes direction. Every scene seemed like a dialogue reading of the actors involved. There was zero connect and no conviction in emotions. Only one scene in the movie is good and that too the dining scene of the Villain.

Songs are a let down. BGM was alright. The narration is very slow. Each dialogue is double the required size. The movie had a decent plot, albeit some major plotholes. A crisp narration with crisp dialogues and non-choppy editing would have done wonders to the movie. Cinematography is alright with some experimental shots, like the one shown in trailer where Shaurya is running and the long shot fight scene in first half(looks similar to Atomic Blonde scene).

The villain did decent. Mehreen shows up in few scenes as the only person on whom Shaurya can keep shouting. For that matter he does not even shout at the villain, just Mehreen.

Overall, another could have been movie that could not.
